Thank you Clexakru fir your kind review, I really appreciate it. It encourages me to update more often as well as not ditch the story entirely. Let me know your thoughts and whether to carry on. Sorry for the short chapters, though the way in which I write correlates better when split into smaller sections; so bare with me. It means I can update more often anyway.

As always, enjoy chapter 5 guys.

Chapter 5

Clarke awoke from a peaceful slumber, her well rested limbs still entangled with Lexa's. She didn't open her eyes straight away, she took a moment to appreciate the smooth skin beneath her. The brunette's scent was intoxicating, sweet and inviting. She felt Lexa's calm, slow breaths embrace her she reveled in the closeness of the two. The brunette hadn't stirred, much do Clarke's delight. She contemplated her options. I could get up, potentially stir the beautiful girl beneath her or she could remain engulfed in Lexa's warmth. Hmm such a hard choice.

Unsurprisingly, Clarke decided upon the latter. Lexa began to stir underneath her, mumbling in distress. Her eyebrows were creased, a pained expression playing out on her face. Clarke couldn't help but think how small the brunette looked in that moment; curled up into the blonde's side as if she was a sobbing child. Something in her subconscious was clearly disturbing her, Lexa's body jumping every so often. The blonde hated to see the girl as troubled as she was in that moment, and automatically reached out to comfort the brunette. Clarke traced Lexa's brow with her thumb, soothing the younger girl. Clarke felt Lexa relax into her touch and resisted the urge to kiss her.

"Woaaah guys...keep things PG-13 around here!" Shouted Raven from below the cliff. She had been walking through pools of rock when she spotter the interaction between the two. Climbing onto the highest rock available, that didn't threaten her life, she fought to be heard above the wind. "Children play on this beach!"

Lexa woke with a start as Raven's demand pulled her from sleep. The brunette was panting, trying to control her ragged breaths. Clarke casted a brief glance to where Raven had complained, about to defend the pair but the girl had conveniently gone. Lexa had retreated from the blonde, reluctantly forcing distance between the two.

Clarke struggled to mask her disappointment as Lexa went to stand. "We should probably get back to the others." The brunette's blunt statement was accompanied by a stray tear. Clarke pulled Lexa back towards her, caressing the brunette's tear stained cheek. They stayed like that for a few moments; heads pressed together and silent words being exchanged. Clarke eventually rose to her feet, extending her hand to other girl. Lexa's confidence seemed to return as she closed herself off once more. She hauled the blonde into her grasp and descended down the Rocky trail beneath them

Lexa stood in front of the mirror for the fifth time that evening, taking in her appearance critically. She wore a short black dress that clung to her in all the right places. She ensured she looked mildly respectable by opting to not display her cleavage. Stray curls hung delicately around her shoulders, having been tied into a loose, messy bun. She finished attaching her earings and slipped into her sleek, black high heels.

"Damn Lex! You're looking mighty fine!" Raven strolled into Lexa's room, observing the stunning brunette before her. "Careful, Clarke will actually need to look at people other than you tonight for it to run smoothly. She isn't exactly going to be selling it if she acts like a love sick puppy."

Lexa's cheeks turned a deep shade of crimson as she smoothed the dress that hugged her figure.

The group walked into the restaurant, the board of directors and other camera crew having already been seated at one side of the table. Octavia went to sit next to Clarke, earning a shove from Raven. Octavia gave her attacker a questioning glare, Raven purposefully eying both Lexa and Clarke. "Oh right yeah Raven, I forgot we have to run through those lines for that scene tomorrow, do you mind if I sit next to you?" Octavia asked, suddenly catching on.

"Of course." Replied Raven, a triumphant smile erupting on her face. Clarke only rolled her eyes at the attempted discression and watched as Lexa was forced to take a seat next to her. The two brushed hands as the brunette slipped into the chair; sending reverberations throughout Clarke's body. They exchanged an awkward smile as the blonde attempted to pull her gaze away from the piercing green eyes that were currently exploring every part of her.

Gustus took a seat opposite the two, and coughed, clearing his throat. The two turned around immediately, despite their reluctance. Their reaction learnt a sea of smugglers from the friends next to them. Lexa sent them an angry glare, one that was reciprocated by the burly man in front of her. It made the brunette squirm in her seat. Anya took her place next to him, interrupting their stare off.

"Ah Lexa! I'm so glad you made it!" Exclaimed the older woman, leaning over the table to kiss Lexa's cheek. "Me and Gustus both!" The woman added, earning a grunt from the man beside her, a man that was clearly pissed off. A wave of sympathy passed across Anya's face briefly before she started engaging in conversation with the producer sat next to her.

Clarke fiddled nervously with her finger in her lap. She didn't know whether her incessant fidgeting was down to the importance of the dinner or the presence of the gorgeous girl beside her. The blonde was blatantly staring but she didn't care, she had little reason to tear her eyes away from the beautiful figure before her. She followers the curves of the brunette's body upwards, before eventually landing on her striking jade orbs, accentuated by flawless eyeliner.

Lexa bit her lip, feeling vulnerable under the blonde's intense gaze. Fortunately for Clarke, her gulp wasn't audible. Oh fuck. The blonde seemed unable to form a coherent thought as she opened and closed her mouth as she tried to form words. Lexa noticed Clarke's reaction and smirked before embedding her teeth further into the plump flesh. The blonde held back a whimper as she somehow remembered where they were.

They hadn't even said a word to each other, yet Lexa was already driving her crazy.

Clarke internally scolded herself, turning her attention to her peers. She made small talk with the board member next to her but she struggled to concentrate. She could pretty much feel Lexa's boring into the back of her head.

The night was slow but went without much fault. She was about to excuse herself to use the bathroom but Lexa got there even before she opened her mouth. Shit. Clarke knew that the two of them in such an enclosed environment was NOT a good idea. But then again, they were both adults. She pushed her chair backwards, gently scraping it across the floor, before setting off in the direction of her goal. Raven and Octavia starts smirking and exchanging hushed comments as they watched the flushed blonde followed Lexa. In fairness to them, from where they were sitting, it looked incredibly suspicious.

Clarke walked in just as Lexa exited her cubicle. The brunette looked mildly shocked at Clarke's presence but she soon covered it up with an innocent smile. The girl leant over the sink, reaching for the soap as she turned on the tap. Lexa's ass was on full display and Clarke took full advantage of the situation. The brunette tried to concentrate on the task at hand, rinsing the suds off of her delicate fingers, yet she was very much aware of the fact that Clarke hadn't moved an inch.

Lexa searched for some kind of witty comment to break the tension but nothing came. There was only so long she could rely on the water to cool her already warm skin. She straightened up and walked over towards Clarke, in search of a paper towel to dry her hands. The blonde's breath hitched as Lexa's front was pushed into her. The brunette finished wiping her hands and threw the material into the bin. She turned round, underestimating the proximity of the two. Lexa's nose was pressed into Clarke's, her breaths uneven and rapid. Lexa moistened her lips as she stared down at the blonde's. She leant in, their lips brushing ever so slightly. The atmosphere was tense yet delicate. Both felt that one wrong move could tear down whatever they had built between them. Lexa rubbed her nose upwards, almost touching Clarke's lips. Teasing her. Challenging her. Urging her to make the first move. The blonde gave up her resistance, gliding her lips gently across Lexa's. They both drew back before leaning in impossibly closer, ready to fuel to their ceaseless desire. They hadn't even kissed yet and Lexa was already hot and bothered. A shy smile graced Clarke's lips, her hands tangling in the brunette's curls, closing the distance between their lips.

"WOAHH GUYS!" Exclaimed Raven.

"Well that certainly escalated quickly..." breathed Octavia, looking around awkwardly. Trying to look anywhere but her best friend entangled in Lexa's limbs.

"Seriously we leave you guys alone for two minutes and your on each other like to rabbits!" Clarke and Lexa seperated with impressive speed. Horror etched on both their faces. Clarke almost lost her balance, having been pretty much thrown into the wall amidst Lexa's panic.

"It's so not what it looks like!" Clarke pleaded, readjusting her very much dishevelled appearance.

"Really because it looked like me and O just walked in on your tragic attempt at kissing Lexa?" Raven challenged, very amused by the situation. Octavia just looked uncomfortable.

"So...okay maybe it is what it looks like." Clarke admitted, clearly embarrassed.

Raven was delighted at the prospect, so much potential for further teasing and joy. She really was going to love Lexa being here.

So what do you guys think?! Woooop Clexa ;)
